In the meantime, it seems that I need to drop the iova list from my branch for v4.18, I don't think it makes much sense to expose to userspace if we cannot also enforce it and it seems like it presents API issues if we were to expose the iova list without enforcement and later try to enforce it. Sorry I didn't catch this earlier. Thanks, Alex _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
